Profit Taking
Mars Rise in
Stock Prices
New York, April IS (U.B Th rt
In toclu which followed announce
ment of President Roosevelt' pump-
prlmlng program ran Into profit
taking today. Prices eased and vol
ume lightened.
Incentive to take profits came
from uncertainty over the tax bill,
technical weakness caused by four
days' rise In the Industrial section,
dip In steel operations and un
favorable quarterly earnings reports
and dividend actions.
Losses In leading issues generally
were small. They ranged to 2 points,
while some higher priced shares lost
as much as 3 points or more. A
few reports showed ability to over
come a lag In business and Induced
some selective buying. The Euro
pean situation was regarded as lnv
proved by the Anglo-Italian pact
reached over the week-end.
Jersey stockholders were told today
that the company's dividend must
be reduced from the present rate
of $2.60 a sliare. The stock eased
only fractionally and other utili
ties held better than other major
groups.
International Telephone rose frac
tionally on large turnover. Amen
can Telephone lost a point.
Steel shares steadied after an ear
ly decline. U. 8. steel sold at 46
off 14 and rallied fractionally.
Railroad Issues eased fractional
ly except for the high-priced Union
Pacific which at Its low of S3 was
off 3. Texas corporation was down
a point and other oils lost fra&
tlonally. Non-ferrous metals, ex
cept gold mining Issues, were off
fractions to more than a point.
Chrysler lost 3 points and Gen
eral Motors more than a point.
Farm Issues and mall orders were
depressed. U. S. gypsum was off
nearly 4 points.
Maytag first preferred Jumped
11 H points to 84. Other Issues
which gained Included International
business machines at 147V4 up VA
capital administration preferred 40
up S; Columbia pictures prefer
red 33 up 4; and Dow cnemicai

Spittle Bug
Control Must
Begin at Once
Spittle bugs should be controlled
t once. The Insects have been
hatching bl Marlon county since the
latter part of March, and are now
to be found In numbers In many
plantings.
Dusting should begin the first of
this week In the lower aress of the
county, while In the higher eleve.
Hons, the bugs are about week
later.
The Insect over-winters as an egg
In the crown of the plant and. upon
hatching, the young Insect at once
attacks the new plant growth as It
Is getting a start. The new tender
foliage Is very succulent, and the
young Insects grow rapidly and soon
cause the new leaves to become dis
torted, stunted, and often kill them
outright.
The Insects are a bright orange
color after hatching, and can be
found easily now by examining the
new leaves In the crown of the
plant.
The peats have already been
found as numerous as 50 bugs to the
plant in some plantings and, where
this la the case, severe damage will
result, unless their ravagea are
checked at once.
The recommended dust for this
lason Is still the one containing
one-half per cent actual Rotenone,
and better results have been obtain
ed where the carrier for this Insec
ticide was dlatomaceous earth. This
Is the only dust which will give sat'
lsfactory results where the spittle
bug Infestation is high.
The dusting should be thorough,
covering the whole plant. Where
hand dusters are used. It la neces
sary to give each plant about three
shots" of the dust, one on each
side and a third down In the crown.
The duster should be held as close
to the plant as possible, so as to be
sure to get the dust on the under
sides of the leaves, where the Insect
works.
The rate of application varies
with different plantings, but should
average 60 or 70 pounds of dust per
acre In most plantings.
Spittle bug control Increases qual
ity of the fruit and insures better
yield.

4 Cents Per Pound
For Rye Grass Seed
Albany One-third of Linn coun
ty's rye grass acreage was repre
sented at a meeting of growers held
In Harris burg this week-end, and
every grower pledged himself to ac
cept nothing less than a 4-cent per
pound contract for his seed between
now and June 1. '
The agreement was reached after
lt was represented that some buy
ers are signing 3-cent contracts and,
after It was concluded that there la
no justification now for selling at
such a low price, and that the 1
cent contracts If signed by many
growers would have a depressing in
fluence upon the rye grass seed
market, lt was announced by Coun
ty Agent Floyd C. Mullen, who at
tended the meeting.
While it was admitted that the
crop promises a heavier yield this
year than last, there Is no reason to
expect the price to be under four
cents, the growers contended.
At the meeting were 43 growers
owning 6240 acres. The agreement
to hold for the 4-cent price was
unanimous.
All growers of Linn county are to
be contacted and warned against
the l-cent price at this time.

and the University of California,
But Burrell reports that borax
put on the soli of apple orchards In
the spring, prevents two serious
apple destroyers. These are cork
and drought spot. Cork Is forma.
tion of large, brown, dead areas In
the flesh. Drought spot Is crack
ing and rusting of apple skin.
In bad years these diseases wipe
out the crop in some orchards.
They do 30 to 40 per cent destruc
tion In others. Borax put in the
soil, like fertiliser, eliminates 99
per cent of this damage.
All this has been confirmed by
experiments in New York, Virginia,
Canada. Finland, New Zealand and
other places. Spreading borax un
der the trees Is safer, easier and
cheaper than the previously dis
covered method. Holes are bored
In trees and boric acid Injected.
Burrell's experiment at Cornell
show that an overdose of boron In
the soli of orchards I as bad as I
deficiency. Too much borax scorch-
the leave and they fall off.
Leaves turn pale underneath, along
the midriff.
Control of Internal cork and
drought spot," Burrell said, "should
be undertaken under guidance of a
plant pathologist, because of this
danger of an overdose. Further
more such similar apple disease as
bitter pit or Baldwin spot are not
controlled by borax.
